Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That the period of
restriction against alienation on homestead lands allotted to members of
the Kansas or Kaw Tribe of Indians in Oklahoma, under the provisions of
the agreement with said tribe of Indians as ratified and confirmed by the Act
of Congress of July 1, 1902 (Thirty-second Statutes at Large; page 636),
be, and is hereby, extended for a period of twenty years from January 1,
1928: Provided, That the extension authorized by this Act shall not
affect the homestead allotment of any member of the Kaw Tribe who has
been or may be declared to be competent by the Secretary of the Interior,
after proper inquiry and investigation of conditions in such manner as he
may deem necessary: Provided further, That the production of oil and
gas and other minerals on such restricted lands may be taxed by the State
of Oklahoma in all respects the same as production on unrestricted lands,
and the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized and directed to cause
to be paid the tax so assessed against the royalty interests of the
respective Indian owners in such production from the royalties or from any
other individual Indian funds held under his supervision belonging to the
Indian owner of the land: Provided, however, That such tax shall not
become a lien or charge of any kind or character against the land or other
property of the Indian owner.

SEC. 2.

That the Secretary of the Interior be, and he is hereby,
authorized, when it would be for the best interests of a restricted Kaw
Indian, to permit the sale of his homestead allotment under such rules and
regulations as he may prescribe and upon such terms as he may approve.
